Dear Betty, Dawn and Tracy - I am so sorry to hear of Donald's passing. You and Don hold a very special place in my heart. I have so many fond memories of those years with the "39-ers" in Tampa and playing golf with Don. I loved his sense of humor. He was always full of joy and it spread to those around him. I will continue to pray for you and the family and pray God's peace cover you during this difficult time. Love you! Tom Holcombe
